Upon the announcement that the Obama administration will put $156 million toward Alzheimer’s research within the next two years, ABC news covered the story and quoted Cure Alzheimer’s President and CEO Tim Armour:

“Alzheimer’s threatens to bankrupt our health care system, affect the quality of care provided to patients and mature into one of the worst health care crises our nation has ever seen,” Armour said.

The money will fund both basic and clinical research, all of which Cure Alzheimer's Fund has been adamantly supporting since its inception.
